Patent CA-2720456-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCKERNAN PAT S
IPC: B66F9/18
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: A control system for a load-handling clamp (10) includes first and second load engaging surfaces (20, 22) for selectively gripping and releasing a load (12) disposed between said surfaces. At least one of said surfaces is selectively movable toward the other by a hydraulic actuator (26, 28). At least one fluid valve assembly (70) variably regulates a maximum hydraulic clamping pressure capable of causing the actuator to move one of the surfaces toward the other in a load clamping movement. Preferably, a load geometry sensor (50) produces an electrical effect that varies as a function of the geometric profile of the load. A data receiver (32) preferably also obtains load identification information related to at least one characteristic of the load, other than the load's geometry. A controller (40), in response to the data receiver and load geometry sensor, operates to control the valve assembly' s regulation of the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure. In order to prepare for the load clamping movement, the controller is preferably also capable of enabling the actuator to move one of said surfaces toward the other in an initial clamp closing movement at a maximum hydraulic closing pressure greater than the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure. Thereafter the controller enables the load clamping movement at a pressure level substantially no greater than the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure.

Abstract: In cold rolling of a seamless metallic tube with a cold pilger mill, when a reduction ratio of an outside diameter becomes excessive in comparison to a reduction ratio of a wall thickness, strain in a circumferential direction on flange regions becomes excessive. As a result, compressive stress in a circumferential direction becomes excessive, so that wrinkle imperfections are generated inside a tube and folded on groove bottom regions to become folded defects. This process is repeated to be developed into inside defects. When a hollow shell is produced by the Mannesmann-mandrel process instead of the extrusion process, inside wrinkle imperfections are generated with a sizing mill (a stretch reducer or a sizer) at a stage of hollow shell. Since the inside wrinkle imperfections further grow in cold rolling, it is necessary to pay attention thereto. In consideration of these, (a reduction ratio of an outside diameter/a reduction ratio of a wall thickness both in a cold pilger mill) is set to not more than 1/2. It is, thereby, possible to obtain a high-quality seamless metallic tube, inside defects thereof being suppressed, produced by cold rolling.
